Managing Your Mind

Today I went to pick up some visiting guys from China, and they came here for a series of transportation projects contracts with McTrans, TTI, Traffic.com, my Univ, etc.

 

Eventually i got the chance to talk to Mr. Guan from Beijing STONE ITS. We talked about the career in transportation field for overseas students. He agreed on my choice for choosing a small company as a start to build up wide knowledge. I expressed my interest on going back to China to see what I can do after a number of years working here, and he said sea turtles are doing great in transportation field in China and you better catch it up!

 

Also, I got to know a great company traffic.com, a real-time traffic information provider in the US. Traffic.com hit NASDAQ on Jan, 2006. Although it’s stock price dropped from the initial $12 to the current $5, I firmly believe that it’s a great idea to have a integrated traffic data platform for national use. And I believe the prospective scene would be satisfying. It is planning to expand its bunisess to China as well as other countries.

 

The current Alexa traffic rank for traffic.com is 8548, as of 5/05/06. I’ll keep an eye on it. You need people to click your webpages to raise the stock price man! And it needs to grow real fast before the IT tycoons like Google steps into!
